Linux PC Linux OS BR - Installation

There are so many Linux distributions all over the world - today I will the Brazilian version of PC Linux OS.

How should I better test a new operation system than using a virtual machine. The free available Virtual Box is always a good start.

I downloaded the ISO image pclos_br_e_17_2013.4 and bootet it within a new virtual machine. After booting the image you're welcomed with the PCLinuxOS logo in the colors of the Brazilian flag.

After you've chosen 'Install PCLinuxOS' the installing process will start.
The system is booting and the first decision you have to make is the chose the keyboard layout. As usual for a Brazilian distribution the default layout is 'Brazilian' - of course I chose a familiar one and continued.

Then you can change the partitioning settings for the virtual disk if you like.

In the next step you'll see the regular warning, that all data will be lost after if you chose to continue. Because it's a new created empty virtual hard drive - it doesn't matter!

The installation process will take a couple of minutes - even in a virtual machine. After that you can make some settings for the bootloader before you reboot.




Shortly after that, the computer will restart after the confirm that with 'Finish'.
